0.233 m\text{0.233 m}

Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Calculate the speed of sound in air at 30∘C30^\circ\text{C}.

    The speed of sound in air (vv) at a given temperature TT (in Celsius) can be calculated using the formula v=v0+0.6Tv = v_0 + 0.6T, where v0v_0 is the speed of sound at 0∘C0^\circ\text{C} (approximately 331 m/s331 \text{ m/s}).

    v = 331 \text{ m/s} + (0.6 \text{ m/s/^\circ C}) \times (30^\circ\text{C}) v=331 m/s+18 m/sv = 331 \text{ m/s} + 18 \text{ m/s} v=349 m/sv = 349 \text{ m/s}
  2. Determine the wavelength of the sound.

    The relationship between the speed of sound (vv), frequency (ff), and wavelength (λ\lambda) is given by v=fλv = f\lambda. We are given the frequency f=1500 Hzf = 1500 \text{ Hz}.

    λ=vf\lambda = \frac{v}{f} λ=349 m/s1500 Hz\lambda = \frac{349 \text{ m/s}}{1500 \text{ Hz}} λ≈0.23266 m\lambda \approx 0.23266 \text{ m}

    Rounding to three significant figures:

    λ≈0.233 m\lambda \approx 0.233 \text{ m}

    The wavelength of the produced sound is 0.233 m\text{0.233 m}.
